There must be something I'm not getting...

We're apparently about to spend over half the money from selling our record goalscorer to bring in a relatively unproven non-goalscoring winger in an area where we already have Kulu, Solomon, Gil and Porro at a pinch.

What's the attraction?

Ange literally said the other day in his presser that he still feels that there is value in the market if you look in the right places. Johnson for £50m clearly isn't that, so you can only assume the club have got hung up on having another HG player.

No; one can come to other more salient conclusions than that.

Wait; so people are happy to pay 5-6 contracts off and burn about 45m quid but not let a still useful Dav run his deal down and leave for free in a years time?

You lot...... FFS! :ange-facepalm:

I don’t think he’s very good and has proven that under multiple managers. And if we get a decent offer we should take it if we are a well-run club. Does anyone really want to see him playing through a press like we were last Saturday if Romero gets injured?

Bill old boy.

That’s an excellent question.

You have to assume that the club think he can play as a 9. Only way it really makes sense.

I also ignored 7 goal scorers for City, who between them scored 13 goals.

We are arguing about hypotheticals, the player's most productive seasons as a guide seems fair enough. We can't really know how many these players will score. And if you're gonna take issue with made up numbers, maybe don't mention Johnson, seeing as he's not actually signed for us yet.

The basic point is that we'd have to assume that almost every player scores at or higher rate than their best ever in a season.

Are you really expecting any of these players to contribute enough to see us scoring 2 goals a game for the entire duration of the season? There are only 11 players on the pitch at a time and only 90mins a game, if Johnson and Son play a lot Kulu and Solomon will necessarily get fewer opportunities to score.

Perisic has one PL goal in his career, Gil has none, Romero's highest tally in a league season is 2, PEH will be riding the bench... probably for United or Atletico.

Blah blah blah blah blah.

If you're so sure, make a friendly wager. We score less than last season, you win. £20 to the charity of the winner's choice.

Come on big guy. You chicken?
